If you’re leading a growing startup, you have enough on your plate without worrying about whether your business systems can scale. Many founders realize too late that the patchwork of small business apps they started with can’t handle rapid growth. Before growth strains your processes to the breaking point, it’s wise to switch to an integrated cloud ERP platform built to scale.
NetSuite is the world’s #1 cloud ERP software, used by over 30,000 organizations across 160+ countries. Designed specifically for fast-growing companies, NetSuite gives you a single system to handle all core business operations – from accounting and HR to inventory, fulfillment, CRM and beyond.
Here are six key reasons NetSuite could be the best move as your startup seeks to scale:
1. NetSuite Grows with You
Far too often, startups outgrow entry-level systems and need to migrate data to larger platforms – a lengthy and disruptive process. NetSuite enables customization as your needs change, without costly reimplementation. You get built-in flexibility for adding business units, locations, currencies and languages. The system easily adapts to changing business models as well, including shifts to subscriptions, services and global expansion.
2. Scalability Without Limits
NetSuite is cloud native, specifically architected to rapidly scale. There are no limits on storage space, bandwidth or processing power. You easily support surges in transaction volumes without performance lags. And you can expand to new geographies knowing NetSuite supports 190+ countries and currencies. This global capability lets you easily consolidate multinational operations onto a single cloud platform.
3. Real-Time Visibility and Control
Running a fast-growth company means making decisions at pace. NetSuite gives executives and managers real-time access to critical business data from any device. Key metrics, reports, and dashboards provide visibility into sales, orders, inventory, expenses, payroll, budgets and more. You gain transparency across the entire business to monitor performance and compliance. With a single source of truth, you can course correct quickly.
4. Flexible Customization Platform
Although NetSuite comes out of the box with extensive capabilities, you can customize the system to run your business your way. With point-and-click configurability and drag-and-drop tools, over 80% of customizations can be done by business users without IT help. You can incorporate unique processes, design custom records, fields, forms, reports and dashboards, all without changing source code. This enables unique competitive advantages as you continue innovating.
5. Complete Order-to-Cash Lifecycle
For startups, selling efficiently is a huge priority as you scramble to meet demand. NetSuite centralizes the entire order-to-cash process in one cloud platform. That includes built-in CRM and marketing automation, ecommerce and POS, billing and collections, revenue recognition, global payments capabilities and more. Sales, finance and service teams get a 360-degree customer view with real-time order and inventory data. This eliminates fulfillment errors and improves the customer experience.
6. Built-In Business Insights
NetSuite helps unlock actionable insights from your data via built-in business intelligence tools. Embedded real-time dashboards, reporting and data visualization tools help you identify issues and opportunities. You don’t have to be a technical expert to produce reports, analyze data, identify trends and share insights across the company. With key metrics at your fingertips, the entire leadership team can make data-driven decisions to optimize operations.
